Re: Pakistan's commitment questioned in Senate hearing
I use to work for a company who have high dream and targets, in order to achieve them they hired the best Managers with local experience and expertise, and then they got some American & Brits to develop the corporate strategy for these managers to implement.
The whole show collapsed, as these American & Birts were may be the best available consultants but they lack the knowledge of working with the locals and know-how of the local market.
They developed the strategy without consulting the managers, and then gave to managers to implement it, Managers made some changes and gave recommendation of the same strategy.. GORA refused to accept those recommendations and still went ahead to implement it... the result like i said was a disaster...
Same Applies here... American + NATO can put pressure as much as they like.. there wil be no result until they act on the recommendation of Pak-Army and ISI... their first recommendation was to Seal the border... but i guess American think they are smart enough to work without the recommendation.. and they are blaming Pak-Army and ISI for the failure of their very own Strategy....
Obama is doing the same... so the result is going to be the same... no matter how hard they pressurize Pakistan... unless they have the right strategy they are not going to get the results..
BTW: i strongly doubt that USA want any kind of peace in FATA or Pakistan, as it will expose their failure in Afghanistan.. which will be another blow to the Reputation of US-Army after losing in Iraq.
